Responding, Oba Aladetoyinbo thanked the visitors and appreciated them for their efforts at checkmating the activities of insurgents in the country.
He expressed dismay that some people could rise against their fatherland for no cogent reasons, adding that everything must be done to checkmate their activities, especially now that they are moving to other parts of the country.
He noted that their activities were drawing the economic and infrastructural development of the nation backwards as well as discouraging investors.
He told them that since he became the king, he had been able to curb the excess of thuggery in the land.
